Why I'm backing campaign to get lad mags behind the counter

While Suzanne Harrington doesn’t agree with most censorship, she’s backing the campaign to put lads’ mags behind the counter, and out of the line of vision of her children.

BEFORE we start, can I just say that I do not believe in, or support, censorship of anybody by anybody on any grounds. Providing it does not involve children or animals, and everyone is adult and consensual, then do what you like. Just one thing — don’t do it in my face. Or my kids’ faces.

When my 12-year-old walks into a shop to buy her horsey mag, or my nine-year-old to buy his football mag, they should not have to visually digest a close-up of a female arse on the cover of the Daily Sport. Nor should they have to look at unclothed, sexually posed young women on the cover of mags like Nuts, Zoo, FHM and others.
